i am reading a paper about making a kernel which supports cooperative multitasking, to replace the current A2 kernel which supports more wide spread blocking synchronization. i wonder if they’ve managed to change the kernel and if current A2 has this lock free kernel or not. i remember i have read something about problems they had with drivers - they need to be rewritten to not use interrupts any more.

indeed, context switch is a heavy task. I have tried to not be multitasking - when I eat, I don’t read, when I read, I don’t chat. That’s so nice, my brain does not get tired as much. (:

#Multitasking is the clearest advantage over all other platforms. Openness and inclusion of other companies to the #MeeGo ecosystem is an advantage over #iOS and #Windows. Freshness and difference in #UI and #UX is an advantage over #Android. http://www.myphone.gr/forum/showthread.php?t=342410 (scroll down for the translation) #Jolla #mobile #maemo #jolla-mobile #finland
